Two days passed; Rainier had been training all that time.

He had gathered about a dozen of beast cores from first-grade beasts.

Seven of them were personally killed by him with his sword while the rest is killed with his spell.

All this time, he had many improvements. He could even say that he is no longer the Rainier that he had once been.

His Energy Bomb had now reached level six while his Mana Barrier reached level three. At the same time, his basic sword techniques had also reached a certain level.

He could no longer be called a total beginner in the ways of the sword. In fact, he could even be considered an expert among his peers.

Aside from the skills, Rainier also had a certain improvement in his mana. From forty-two, it became sixty.

Well, that is thanks to Zeus' materialization. It continuously depletes Rainier's mana only to be recovered again by his passive innate skill, Energy Manipulation.

"Zeus, should we go back?"

"Hmm, I guess."

With that, Rainier started walking back to the city. However, his destination is not at home. Rather, he had decided to sell his spoils first.

Aside from the beast cores, there are also the valuable parts of the beasts such as the heart, the liver, etc.

An hour later, Rainier arrived at the store where he sold his spoils before.

There, he saw the rude attendant, Lily, again.

However this time, Lily is not rude to Rainier, anymore. But, her eyes say otherwise.

It was as if she had hidden hatred towards Rainier. However, Rainer could not be bothered by it.

"You look better than last time. Hehe. Did you use your money to buy expensive clothes?" Lily greeted Rainier, 'politely'.

"Well, yes. I can't have the dogs looking down at me, right?"

"Bastard, who did you call dogs?"

Lily understood Rainier's hidden words.

Geez, this lady did not seem to be an idiot as she looks to be.

Rainer smiled inwardly.

"Who else? The dogs on the streets on my way back."

Despite Rainier saying it, Lily was not convinced.

"Enough nonsense, bring out your items. I will buy them at a good price."

This delighted Rainier. But at the same time, he also wondered what with Lily's change.

Had this bitch become a saint?

Nevertheless, Rainier took out his spoils. Of course, he did not forget to bring them out from his storage tool and place them inside a sack before coming here.

Rainier knows that people will target him if they saw his storage tool. After all, a storage tool is not a common commodity. It is considered to be a luxury.

"Here, ten first-grade beast cores. Take a look."

Rainier handed to sack to Lily.

"Did you hunt this alone?"

Lily could not believe his eyes.

"If I am not mistaken, you still couldn't hunt the first-grade beast three days ago."

"What do you think of me? A weakling?" Rainier puffed his chest.

What's with this narcissistic fellow?

Lily nearly fell. However, she did not respond to that.

Could this fellow really be a genius?

"Forty Silvers."

The more Lily looked at Rainier, the more that her uncle's word seemed to be likely.

"Forty silvers? That's it? Could you add more? I nearly died killing them."

"Hmph! Who told you to challenge first-grade beasts?" Lily said.

When Rainier heard what Lily said, he found it funny and thought of a good idea.

"Are you concerned? Hehe. Sorry, my dear. I will not put my life on the line next time."

"Bastard, I don't care if you die. I am not concerned about you. Who would care about you?"

Thud!

After saying that, Lily placed the forty silver coins on the table rudely and turned to leave.

"Did you not just care… where are you going? Do you really not care about me?"

Seeing Lily disappear from the door near the counter, Rainier could only shake his head.

"Bye, then. I will be coming here in the future, so you won't miss me."

Rainier then started living. But unbeknownst to him, Lily was staring at the tiny window.

"Bastard, who does she think he is? Why would I care about him?"

Lily thought. However, for some reason that she could not understand, her heart skipped a beat when Rainier said that Rainier will be coming here in the future.

"Hmm, is that love?"

"Kyaaah!"

Lily was startled when she heard a voice from behind.

"Uncle, don't be like that. My heart almost leaped out of my chest." Lily joked.

"Leapt out of your chest? Will it go to the young man?"

"Uncle, how could that be? I don't even know his name."

Lily then dusted her clothes and began working.

Meanwhile, Rainier went home to bathe.

"Zeus, can you look for aunt Vivian?"

When he arrived, he did not see aunt Vivian. The house is even locked.

Fortunately, he knew where the hidden key is.

"Seriously? I refuse."

Of course, Zeus would do that, and Rainier had expected this.

After bathing, Rainier went out again to get a decent meal in the city.

"Aunt Vivian is not here, there's no one to cook."

"Kid, did you not learn how to cook?" Zeus asked.

"Of course, I did."

"Why don't you cook, then?"

"Hmm, good idea. But I'm lazy."

Half an hour later, Rainier saw one of the inns and entered.

Of course, he did not forget to put on the clothes that he both last time that he went shopping.

"Sir, what would you like to eat?" the waiter asked as he gave Rainier the menu.

This is not particularly the best. However, they had good services and good prices as well as good food making them popular with the mercenaries.

"Give me your bestselling."

Rainier did not even bother to look at the menu. He was rather lazy.

In any way, food will be food. I will eat them, and they will become poop.

Well, that is indeed true.

A/N: now, now, the protagonist is showing signs of becoming lazy.

Fuck off, author. I'm just tired.

A/N: okay okay (smiles helplessly)

Meanwhile, a few minutes after the waiter left, he came back with the platter with the bestselling food.

"Sir, here you are. One roasted turkey, one sandwich, and one glass of beer."

"Cough, beer?"

Rainier was flustered.

Is this guy a fool? Why would he give a child a glass of beer?

When the waiter heard Rainier, his eyes widened.

"I'm sorry sir. I will change the beer with water."

However, Rainier stopped him.

"Nah, forget it. Just bring me a glass of water."

With that, Rainier began digging in without a care for the surroundings.

After a few moments, the waiter came back and gave Rainier a glass of water.

However, Rainier did not mind him.

"Kid, slow down."

…

Meanwhile, a group of people was heading towards the same hall where Rainier was eating.

If Rainier saw them, he would recognize the two. He had met these people in the forest back at the time. They even helped him against the hoard of red-eyed rabbits.

Their group is made up of two children of the same age as Rainier. Then, they have their servants/guardians.

Among the children, one is Hailey while the other one is a noble boy that Rainier had not even met.

The noble boy is named Dylan Fowler.

Just like Hailey, he was also sent to the forest for training. At the same time, he will also be accompanied by one of the servants of the family.

"Miss Hailey, it would be better if we ate before going to the forest," the young man said.

"Yes miss," uncle Dexter seconded.

"I know a fine restaurant. We have eaten there before," the noble boy said while looking at his guardian.

"Yes, it's not too far from here."

"Uncle Dexter, we should enter the forest as soon as possible."

Unfortunately, Hailey was in rush. Hence, this made uncle Dexter smile helplessly.

"I know a place close to this area. It is not like those restaurants. However, everything is good there."

With that, uncle Dexter began leading them into the inn where Rainier was.

Fifteen minutes later, Rainier is about to finish his meal.

The only thing that remains is the rib part of the roasted turkey.

At this moment, the group of four.

The first thing that they did is they looked for a table. However, the inn is not famous for anything. The inn is filled with people.

"There, we can seat there. There is only one person on that table."

"Let's go!"

Just as Dylan said it, Hailey did not hesitate to go.

This was because the one on the table is Rainier.
